It may have promised the action of Bourne, Bond & Bauer at its release but Alpha Protocol was a commercial flop when it finally hit earlier this year. Graphical bugs and poor gunplay ensured that Obsidian Entertainment’s foray into espionage would be a short one, which is a shame as the customisation options available as you crafted your spy were pretty impressive and the storyline was an entertaining one. However, by using a special promo code ‘RUDOPLH’ at Direct2Drive (which can be used for all purchases at the site until Monday morning) you can get this game for less than £4, which is good incentive to finally give it a chance.
